Limiting Outsourcing at Army Arsenals: Securing Federal Jobs and Defense Production.
This law ensures that at least half of the maintenance and production work at government-owned Army arsenals must be performed by federal employees, rather than outsourced to private companies. The goal is to strengthen the domestic industrial base, maintain critical technical skills, and enhance national defense readiness. For citizens, this stabilizes employment at these facilities and increases government control over military equipment production.
Key points
Establishes a limit: a maximum of 50% of funds for specific arsenal workload activities can be used for contracts with private companies.
Remaining funds must be used for work performed by federal Department of Defense employees.
Private companies engaging in public-private partnerships with arsenals will receive preferential treatment in the bidding process (a 20% price advantage).
